In a surprising turn of events during the NFL game between the Tennessee Titans and the Houston Texans, star running back Derrick Henry struggled to gain ground, managing only 10 yards on 20 touches with a 0.8-yard average. Henry's performance was starkly contrasting to his previous encounters with the Texans, where he had averaged 203.6 rushing yards per game in his last five games, including four games with over 200 rushing yards. Despite his struggles and the Titans donning their Oilers-inspired uniforms, the team was initially leading the game 13-0. However, the Texans made a comeback, eventually winning the game 19-16 with a last-second field goal in overtime. The outcome left the Titans eliminated from playoff contention and sparked conversations about Henry's future with the team. Amidst the discussions, Henry also achieved his 4th career passing touchdown.
#Titans 10, Seahawks 3 at halftime. Ryan Tannehill 9/15 64 yds Derrick Henry 8 car 58 yds, 1 TD pass Chig Okownkwo 5 rec 46 yds 1 TD Arden Key 1 sack
Boye Mafe sack on third down. That'll take it to halftime. Titans lead 10-3.
Halftime: #Titans lead the Seahawks 10-3. Derrick Henry: 8 rush, 58 yards, 12-yard pass TD Ryan Tannehill: 9/15, 64 yards, 37 rush yards Chig Okonkwo: 5 catches, 46 yards, TD Azeez Al-Shaair: 6 tackles, 2 TFLs Denico Autry: 2 tackles, 0.5 sacks
Half: #Titans 10 Seahawks 3
Seahawks pass completion on third down appeared to take them out of field goal range and Dickson in to punt instead. Titans punned back at their 7 and may be content to get to halftime here.Seattle has just one time out.
Seahawks can't get points out of the 2-minute drive after getting as far as the Titans 39-yard line.
#Titans get a stop. Seahawks punting
Seahawks get 9 yards on third-and-10, but a roughing the passer call adds 15 more yards and a first down.
Third and 10 and Seahawks get the completion and roughing. Big swing there....
Seahawks have allowed 99 rushing yards in the first half.
Titans get a field goal out of the drive to extend their lead to 10-3 with 3:18 left in the half.
Nick Folk from 33 is good, #Titans increase lead to 10-3 over Seahawks.
Titans take the FG and a 10-3 lead
Folk FG makes it 10-3 #Titans over Seahawks
Tannehill is sacked on 2nd and 13
Third and 11 and Ryan Tannehill runs for 23 yards. That's suboptimal for the Seahawks defense.
Unexcusable delay of game penalty by the #Titans just now. 3rd & 6 now becomes 3rd & 11. BUT Ryan Tannehill scrambles to pick it up and they have the ball on Seattle's 17-yard line. 23 yd run.
Derrick Henry with 8 carries for 58 yards so far today. Much better outing than last week.
Derrick Henry is averaging 7.3 yards per carry (8/53) after totaling 9 yards rushing last week.
